Organic Essential Oil of Blood Orange - Fairly traded peel from a community project in Spain. More intensely sweet & fragrant than orange essential oil. Brightens dull complexions. A gentle sedative that can release emotional states of tension as well as some hormonal changes. It is the most anti depressant of all the citrus oils. Helps to shift water retention.

Organic Essential Oil of Lavender - Angustifolia variety, flowers from France harvested at high altitudes. When lavender is grown at over 1400 meters, the plant produces more esters. If the oil is also distilled at high altitude, there is a lower air pressure so a lower temperature can be used & therefore more of the very volatile chemicals come through from the plant to the oil. It is more than worth all the effort as this is a superb oil.

The list of properties for lavender is one of the longest of all the aromatherapy oils. Here it is used for its calming affect & it seems to work best in small amounts.
